For me it has to be the BMW 850Csi that I had when I lived in the Middle East. 

Meanwhile back in the real world...I love my Alfa.

Yeah I know.  It was a short lived dream but damn it was fun!
The reality of price hit me full in the face when I got back to the UK.  Had to make do with a Fiat Barchetta instead.

I think you'll find it was the truck that hit me that trashed the car.  The fact I was travelling sideways at about 70 in a cloud of blue tyre smoke at the time is not relevant.   ;D

Has to be my last Scooby. I spent a small fortune on her. But the 300BHP+ was well worth the money. Put a big smile on my face everytime I drove her!

She was so loud I used to have to dip the clutch and coast by the police so that they didn't pull me! Abs used to have a coffee ready for me when I got to the house, he could hear me coming from miles away  ;D

Gone.... but not forgotten  :'(

Any exhaust that makes children jump and small dogs run around in circles, has to be good.
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you have an electrical problem.

My old Lexus was a dream of a cruiser, i loved that car, the GS300 sport, bought it when i was far too young for such a wagon, but that was part of the fun.

Now my Cooper S is hard to fault, absolute hoot, but I do want a Morgan Aero 8, that has to be my current dream road car.

I read in my dads car magazine that the Aero 8 is a hit in the USA.

I like it, as does my fella, but its like an ugly puppy, you either love it or hate it.

I have decised to ditch the new car idea, keep the MG F and go on holiday instead.

thanks anyway
